Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
162. upAyAntharangaLai vittu caramOpAyaththaip paRRinAp
pOlE upEyAntharamAna aisvarya kaivalyangaLai vittu
ellaiyAna prApyaththai arththikkiRadhu.

Meaning:
In the first part of the mantra, the siddhOpAya (His
being the means and the end), which is above all other
means such as Karma, Gnyana and Bhakti, was seeked. 
Similarly in this part of the mantra, the other goals
such as wealth and knowledge of the self are rejected
and the final goal (service), that is above all these,
is seeked.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Why should other goals be rejected and this (service)
be seeked?

Seeking the last of the means (siddhopayam) while 
giving up other means such as Karma, Gnyana and 
Bhakti is appropriate to the chetana whose nature 
is that of not having any other means.

Similarly, in praying for the goal, seeking the last
goal (service to Him) while rejecting other ends 
such as wealth and knowledge of the self is 
appropriate to the chetana whose nature is that of
not having any other enjoyment.
